When you put on the wrong glasses, you see
confusion. Until now an abstract noun,
in this blur it is clear. Remove
the offending lenses and return
to that other fuzziness, familiar to you
since age ten when the world lost
its straight lines. Find the right pair
and get back to as good as it’s going to get.
If you find yourself looking for moral clarity
anywhere near this sharp, forget it.
When you think you’ve found it, you’ve just picked up the wrong pair of glasses again.
